Abstract

See full text

A method and a controller unit for controlling motion of a watercraft with a hydrofoil) obtains information indicating shape of water surface in front of the hydrofoil. The controller unit further predicts wave acceleration of the watercraft using a neural network. Furthermore, the controller unit determines a target route and corresponding total acceleration of the watercraft under a set of constraints. The total acceleration is minimized when the watercraft travels according to the target route. The set of constraints includes: a first constraint that the hydrofoil stays within an interval relative to the water surface, and a second constraint relating to magnitude of acceleration derived from maximum AoA and the predicted wave acceleration. The controller unit calculates an AoA for the target route. Next, the controller unit sends a signal for adjusting the hydrofoil according to the AoA.
